Synopsis:
The time is ten years after the Sith War. Exar Kun has
been trapped in his Massassi temple. His chief
lieutenant, Ulic Qel-Droma, was stripped of his powers
by Nomi Sunrider, after he killed his brother Cay. Ulic
has isolated himself, he wishes only to hide from the
Republic, and hope history will forget what he's done.
Guilt-ridden, Ulic Qel-Droma hides from his past on the
frozen world of Rhen Var. Meanwhile, on Exis station,
Nomi Sunrider calls together the Jedi Knights to discuss
the future of the Republic. After hearing so much about
Ulic and remembering him from her childhood, Vima
Sunrider decides to go in search of him. When Hoggon
discovers Vima on his ship, he is astounded to learn
that the mysterious stranger he took to Rhen Var is in
fact Ulic himself.
Vima Sunrider finally meets Ulic Qel-Droma, and instead
of reminding the once-great Jedi of his glorious past,
Vima is only a grim reminder of the power he once
commanded and can never hold again!
On Rhen Var, the powerless, exiled Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma
continues to train Vima. Sylvar, the ferocious Cathar
Jedi, has gone into isolation herself, directing all her
anger and energy toward thoughts of revenge aimed at
Ulic. But when a messenger comes to her campfire,
informing her that Vima Sunrider has vanished, she
rushes to offer Nomi any help she can give.
Nomi Sunrider travels to Rhen Var to find her daughter
training with Ulic Qel-Droma. She tries to take Vima
away but sees that she needs to make her own decisions.
Sylvar also arrives on Rhen Var seeking to kill Ulic for
killing her mate. But while fighting Ulic she comes to
understand that she needs to move beyond her anger over
her mate's death.
